She stayed for twenty-one. The years covered by Monica Storrs's journal entries (1931-9) were at times unbearably hard, the depression compounding what was already a demanding existence. She and the group of women she lived with, the Companions of the Peace, were sent out as 'missionaries of empire.' As the journals progress, Storrs's droll British wit persists but her imperialistic attitude softens as her work draws her into the lives around her. Expanding on the initial mandate to start Sunday schools, foster contact with women, and perform church services, she became involved in assembling libraries, lending money for seed grain, financing medical assistance, and organizing theatrical performances and poetry contests. After her death even the non-British inhabitants of the Peace River district described her as 'one of us.'"--Jacket 606 $aFrontier and pioneer life$zPeace River Valley (B.C. and Alta.) 606 $aPioneers$zPeace River Valley (B.C. and Alta.)$vDiaries 606 $aPioneers$zPeace River Valley (B.C. and Alta.)$vCorrespondence 606 $aWomen pioneers$zPeace River Valley (B.C. and Alta.)$vDiaries 606 $aWomen pioneers$zPeace River Valley (B.C. and Alta.)$vCorrespondence 607 $aPeace River Valley (B.C. and Alta.)$xSocial life and customs 608 $aPersonal correspondence. 608 $aDiaries. 608 $aBiographies. 608 $aElectronic books. 615 0$aFrontier and pioneer life 615 0$aPioneers 615 0$aPioneers 615 0$aWomen pioneers 615 0$aWomen pioneers 676 $a971.18703092 700 $aStorrs$b Monica, $4aut$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut$01615667 702 $aFast$b Vera K.$f1929- 702 $aKinnear$b Mary 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910806969303321 996 $aCompanions of the Peace$93945971 997 $aUNINA LEADER 03691nam 2200685 a 450 001 9910251405503321 005 20200520144314.0 010 $a9781618117045 010 $a1618117041 010 $a9781618111326 010 $a1618111329 024 7 $a10.1515/9781618117045 035 $a(CKB)2670000000181439 035 $a(SSID)ssj0000652286 035 $a(PQKBManifestationID)11940307 035 $a(PQKBTitleCode)TC0000652286 035 $a(PQKBWorkID)10638566 035 $a(PQKB)10041772 035 $a(DE-B1597)540943 035 $a(OCoLC)1135589471 035 $a(DE-B1597)9781618117045 035 $a(MiAaPQ)EBC3110452 035 $a(ScCtBLL)8cc5d4c2-dfe8-49f0-9919-ab3a93a3f5ce 035 $a(Au-PeEL)EBL3110452 035 $a(CaPaEBR)ebr10528143 035 $a(CaONFJC)MIL546527 035 $a(OCoLC)796033191 035 $a(Perlego)1841484 035 $a(EXLCZ)992670000000181439 100 $a20120228d2011 uy 0 101 0 $aeng 135 $aur||#|||||||| 181 $ctxt$2rdacontent 182 $cc$2rdamedia 183 $acr$2rdacarrier 200 10$aKeys to The gift $ea guide to Nabokov's novel /$fYuri Leving 205 $aFirst edition. 210 $aBoston $cAcademic Studies Press$d2011 215 $a1 online resource (558 pages) 225 1 $aStudies in Russian and Slavic literatures, cultures and history 300 $aBibliographic Level Mode of Issuance: Monograph 311 08$a9781934843116 311 08$a1934843113 320 $aIncludes bibliographical references and index. 327 $tFrontmatter --$tContents --$tHow to Use This Book --$tAcknowledgments --$tReferences --$tNote on Spellings of Names --$tThe Gift: A Biography of the Novel --$tChapter One.

CRITICAL RECEPTION --$tAppendixes --$tIndex 330 $aYuri Leving's Keys to "The Gift": A Guide to Vladimir Nabokov's Novel is a new systematization of the main available data on Nabokov's most complex Russian novel, The Gift (1934-1939). From notes in Nabokov's private correspondence to scholarly articles accumulated during the seventy years since the novel's first appearance in print, the work draws from a broad spectrum of existing material in a succinct and coherent way, as well as providing innovative analyses. The first part of the monograph, "The Novel," outlines the basic properties of The Gift ( plot, characters, style, and motifs) and reconstructs its internal chronology. The second part, "The Text," describes the creation of the novel and the history of its publication, public and critical reaction, challenges of the English translation, and post-Soviet reception. Along with annotations to all five chapters of The Gift, the commentary provides insight into problems of paleography, featuring unique textological analysis of the novel based on the author's study of the archival copy of the manuscript. 410 0$aStudies in Russian and Slavic literatures, cultures and history. 606 $aLiterary Collections$2bisacsh 608 $aAnthologies$2lcgft 615 7$aLiterary Collections 676 $a891.7342 700 $aLeving$b IUrii$0882229 712 02$aNational Endowment for the Humanities and The Andrew W.
